And the food was good! Wonderful job as always, Mum.

[alt_molly]

Oh dear, that's scarcely the point!

Remus, dear, thank you so much for inviting all of us. Do let me know if I can be of more help to you and Dora and Siri

oh

well, to any of you, if you want to tackle more of that cleaning.

(Whatever that malevolent elf will let you do.)

[alt_lupin]

We VERY much appreciate your help, Molly. Far more than we appreciate Kreacher, I can tell you that much.

[alt_nymphadora]

Understatement, that.

Private Message to Dora and Remus

[alt_sirius]

All right, there, luv?

Re: Private Message to Dora and Remus

[alt_nymphadora]

Mostly, I think.

My ears are a bit pink still, but otherwise not terrible.

What about you, then?

Re: Private Message to Dora and Remus

[alt_sirius]

Contemplating how Kreacher's head would look on the wall.

I'm so sorry you were embarrassed like that. We should have just told them somehow. I just wanted Remus to feel comfortable and it really isn't anyone's business but ours. Yours and his and mine, that is.

And the little blighter would wait until I'd left the room for a second, so I couldn't shut him up right away.

I hope it doesn't mean we've scandalised half the Order into never coming back, though.

Bea all settled down, finally?

Hope you defused it of any bombs first, then.

Re: Private Message to Dora and Remus

[alt_sirius]

Or mind-altering hexes, natch.

Are we sure it's not implanted with a listening spell?

Re: Private Message to Dora and Remus

[alt_lupin]

Bugger Bother, I'd meant to ask Kingsley to have a look at that thing while he was over. Naturally after the excitement I forgot.

Re: Private Message to Dora and Remus

[alt_sirius]

Well, if it's too late, Bella certainly got an earful tonight!

I'll see if I can pry it from her long enough to give it a once-over in the morning.

Re: Private Message to Dora and Remus

[alt_sirius]

And are you all right, old man?

Re: Private Message to Dora and Remus

[alt_lupin]

Who are you calling an old man?

Re: Private Message to Dora and Remus

[alt_sirius]

They say the memory's the first thing to go.

You're RJ Lupin, or have your eyes gone now, too?

[alt_sirius]

Yes, indeed, Molly. Truth be told it was possibly the best meal ever prepared in that kitchen.

And there's certainly enough work to be done but please don't feel we're pressing you into service. You've your own projects, as well.

[alt_nymphadora]

Thank you, Molly.

For all of it.
